Decision Followthrough Audit
Use this workflow when operating reviews feel busy but may produce low decision yield, weak variance and narratives, unclear ownership, late risk, vague commitments, poor follow-through, oversized rooms, recurring issues, or little changed behavior.
Output Return an operating review audit with decisionyield, varianceandnarrative, rightsandroom, commitmentfollowthrough, surfacingspeed, failuremodes, and priorityrepair.
Metric Narrative Review
Use this workflow when a material metric variance needs a decision-grade causal narrative separating fact, interpretation, assumptions, confidence, alternatives, disconfirming evidence, tradeoffs, and the decision implied if the diagnosis is true.
Output Return a metric narrative with verifiedvariance, primaryexplanation, alternativeexplanations, evidenceandconfidence, disconfirmation, operatingmeaning, decisionoptions, and nextobservation.
Operating Review Agenda Builder
Use this workflow when a recurring review must stop being dashboard narration and become a pre-read-backed, variance-led decision forum for interpretation, risks, blockers, tradeoffs, commitments, and explicit follow-up.
Output Return an operating review design with decisionsurface, prereadpacket, variancequeue, agenda, riskblockertradeoffrecords, facilitationprompts, and decisionandcommitmentlog.
Review Cadence Redesign
Use this workflow when weekly, monthly, quarterly, and decision forums overlap, bloat, or leave gaps and the company needs clean handoffs for signal capture, interpretation, strategic calibration, decision routing, and follow-through.
Output Return a review cadence architecture with foruminventory, weeklymonthlyquarterlyjobs, decisionforums, handoffs, rightsandescalation, meetingchanges, and cadencemeasures.
Route Review Decision
Use this workflow when an issue keeps returning in operating reviews because the decision type, decider, contributors, evidence threshold, local authority, escalation trigger, destination forum, or post-decision ownership is unclear.
Output Return a review decision route with decisionstatement, decisiontype, rightsmap, localorescalate, destinationforum, decisionpacket, executionandfollowup, and systemrepair.
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
